Never been to a farm in Kentucky, but Cat's work very well in the Mid west. There has been many times in the last ten years when we could go to the field days ahead of the neighbors, just because the tracks cause a lot less damage when wet. Of course we didn't like being out there, but every once in a while you have to go out and get work done and the weather is trying to stop you. We deep till in the fall, last year was very wet, and I was pulling 1100-1200 bushel loads of corn out of the field, dragging the two gravity flow wagons in mud, axel deep, with a MT745. I've never driven a tractor that will pull harder then a tracked tractor. It just hunkers down and pulls.
I thought that planetary set looked larger then I would have thought in a 2940. I've had lots of 4020s apart, and a few 4430s/40s, buts its been over 10 years ago.
